QR Coder: The Innovative Electronic QR Code Seal

Combining Tradition and Technology for Convenience

Inspired by the increasing use of QR codes in modern life, designer Zongyue Yang introduces QR Coder, an electronic QR code seal that combines the functionality of traditional seals with the versatility of QR codes.

QR codes have become a ubiquitous part of our daily lives, serving as a convenient way to access information or authenticate websites. Building on this trend, the QR Coder takes the concept of QR codes to a new level by integrating it with the traditional seal. By connecting to a mobile phone via Bluetooth, this electronic seal allows users to generate and apply QR codes effortlessly.

The most distinctive feature of the QR Coder is its ability to combine the information-carrying capabilities of QR codes with the functionality of a seal. With the increasing use of QR codes in various scenarios, this design offers a modern and convenient solution for individuals and businesses alike.

The QR Coder is made from ABS material, known for its impact resistance, scratch resistance, and dimensional stability. Additionally, ABS is moisture-proof, corrosion-resistant, and easy to process, making it an ideal choice for this innovative design. The material is also environmentally friendly, ensuring the safety and sustainability of the product.

Measuring at a compact size of 2cm x 2cm x 5cm, the QR Coder is designed to be portable and easy to use. To operate, simply long-press the top switch to connect it to a mobile phone via Bluetooth. Users can then edit the desired QR code on their mobile device and send the information to the QR Coder. The bottom of the seal generates the QR code, which can be applied by pressing the QR Coder firmly onto the desired surface.

The QR Coder project was initiated in September 2020 in Milan and completed in February 2021. It was exhibited in China in the same month. Throughout the development process, the design team faced the challenge of creating a complex internal structure while ensuring a high machining qualification rate.

With its combination of tradition and technology, the QR Coder offers a new way to utilize QR codes in our daily lives. From authentication to inventory management, this innovative design provides enhanced functionality compared to traditional seals. Embracing the power of QR codes, the QR Coder opens up new possibilities for convenience and efficiency.
